| Figure 2. | Bathymetry and sediment distribution along each of the eight sampling transects. Spot depths and sample sites (arrows) are shown for each transect. The major types of biota recovered are shown for each sample at the left side of each transect. |
| Figure 3. | Current measurements at Gregory Island (98 m site).
| A. | Profile showing consistent speed and direction through most of the water column. |
| B. | Stationary mooring 1-2 m above the sea floor (13 hour 48 min record). Note the increase in speed as high tide is approached and progressive change in direction from southward flow to a northward flow. The strongest flow is to the north. |
|
| Figure 4. | Current measurements at Cape Armitage (90 m site).
| A. | 26 hour deployment 1-2 m above the sea floor showing currents up to 75 cm/sec were recorded flowing to 150° true (SSE). Lower velocity currents up to 25 cm/sec flowing to 250° true (WSW). |
| B. | Profile about 2 hours after the end of record above (A). A steady flow of 75 cm/sec to 150° T is shown for most of the water column. |
